0b1101100010000

0b1101100010000 is a binary literal in many programming languages, where the prefix 0b indicates that the digits following it are to be interpreted as binary. The sequence 1101100010000 specifies a 13-bit pattern.

In decimal, this value equals 6928. In hexadecimal, it is 0x1B10. Because it comprises 13 bits, it fits within a standard 16-bit integer, and the most significant bit is the 13th bit (bit position 12, if counting from zero).

The bit pattern has ones at positions 12, 11, 9, 8, and 4 (counting from the least significant bit as position 0). Those positions contribute 4096, 2048, 512, 256, and 16 respectively, summing to 6928. This can be interpreted as a bitmask or as data that encodes multiple flags in a compact form.

Usage context is common in low-level programming, embedded systems, or any scenario that requires explicit control over individual bits or bit fields. As a literal, it is often used to initialize variables, configure hardware registers, or define masks for bitwise operations.
